CHECKING eALLoPINe CONSUMPTION
Effect of Gases on Woman Whose Life
Was Despaired of.

The medical fraternity of New Orleans is
considerably excited over the case of Mrs. E.
w. Albers, wlf,se death within a few days
from galloping consumption was declared as
certain by several leading physicians month
ago, but who is now apparently on the road
to complete recovery. She is the wife of A.
W. Albers, prominent druggist Of the city.
When all the doctors had given his wife up
Mr.. Albers determined to try carbonic acid
gas and sulphuretted hydrogen gas as first
administered by Professor Bergeon, of Lyons,
France, and recently experimental with at
the hospital in Philadelphia. Two-thirds of
Mrs Albers' left lung We're destroyed when
the treatment was begun with an improvised
apparatus on March 26.
Result of first week-a gain of one pound
clear. At the end of the second week-a gain
in weight of two and a half pounds, making
a clear gain of three and half pounds for
two weeks One of the features was that the
temperature, which upon the administration
of the gas showed fever of 102 degs declined
in half an hour to 50 degs. A sudden drop of
four degrees was followed by craving for
food which seemed to agree perfectly with the
patient and in turn followed in half an hour
by drowsy sensation, prompting the patient
to sleep, Weakening from which she had per-
Iectly reStful feenng. Ihe gas reaches the
lungs within ten minutes after the admin
istration, and is clearly discernible on the
breath by the characteristic odor of the
sulphuretted hydrogen whicn is used
The apparatus used by Mr. Albers was inn
provised by himself and is simple, consisting
of two rather large sized bottles, one contain
ing the ingredients for making carbonic acid
gas and the other charged to generate sui
phI1rattad hVdrOCpp craS The bOtf1aS ara
connected by means of small rubber tubes
and the gas is collected or stored in large
bag similar to the Laughing gas bags" used
by dentists. The gas finds an exit through a
rubber tube ending in a syringe.-New York

Jentie Jeffrey Harrison, the young gypsy
queen, who died at Jackson Miss, OF
Dec. 81, 1886, was buried at DAYTON, O., in
the gypsy lot at Woodland the other day.
At her death the body was embalmed and
sent north. She was the daughter of Henry
and Tallie Jeffreys, who own large tracts of
land near Dayton, and are related to the
Stanleys, who reign over about twenty tribes
that make their summer home in the Miami
valley. Besides the immediate relatives about
loo gypsies were present.
The burial is the fourth of the kind that
has occurred in Dayton since 1857, and as on
former occasions, attracted crowds of people
to view the street pageant. The funeral cor
tege consisted of a caravan of thirty large
wagons loaded with gypsy families and car
Tying all their camp and household equipage.
Following each wagon were the horse and
dogs of the family, numbering in some cases
fifty animals. The procession was nearly a
mile in length and there were in line about
500 horses.
A squad of police prevented the entrance to
the grounds of the crowd. The Rev. Daniel
Berger, of the United Brethren church. con-
Quoted the religious services, consisting of
prayer, Scriptural readings and sermon.
The mourners and relatives sat about the
grave while the caravan of wagons, horses
and dogs was kept continually circling
around the grave on the winding roadways.
When the minister concluded, the mourners
rose and began low chant in gypsy dialect.
The refrain was caught up by the occupants
Of the moving caravan and soon the air re-
sounded with the moaning and wailing.
Young gypsy girls carried flowers of scarlet
hue and showered them in the grave. They
cried: "Good by, Jentie Good by, sweet
queen! Good by!" These manifestations of
grief continued until the pastor bade the
mourners retire.-Dayton (O.) Special.

Several years ago l asked Roger A.
Pryor, who had been a fire-eater in con-
gress before the war, what difference he
saw between the practice and knowledge
of law in the north and in the south. He
had moved to New York and was a COM
petitor of northern lawyers. He replied
that they read more law in the south in
little country offices than the big law
yers in the large cities did, but, said he:
"In this northern region they have a
very extraordinary power to assemble
facts and overwhelm with evidence in
order to carry their cases. They do not
argue upon the law points, but beat you
with their witnesses and their facts."-

A Newspaper Hero.

1 heard sad story the other day about
Welch, who writes NEST of the funny bits of
supposed conversation that appear in the
New York papers. Welch began to make
his reputation as a humorous writer while
employed ON The Rochester Post-Express
When The Philadelphia Call was started he
went to the Quaker City, and his accident
ally overheard" were his own fortune and
those of his paper. He is the most widely
quoted funny man in the United States For
several months Mr. Welch has been troubled
with cancer of the tongue, and not long ago,
to save his life, he consented to o terrible sur
gical operation One cheek was laid open
nearly to the ear and the greater part of his
tongue was cut out. He can never speak
again, but life will be prolonged, and he has
wife and children to support. Not all the
heroes wear brass buttons and shoulder
straps, and Welch is a hero.-New York Cor.

..r~ A DAILY CARRIAGE FAIR.
The Blackboard, the yolante and tho
Drnskx In Central Park.


DrosLy in Central Park.
Central park has got to be sort OF daily
carriage fair Any afternoon that you choose
to spend along the drive you will find samples
of about all the vehicles known to the civil
lied world displayed upon the roadway. The
blackboard has arrived 1t was brought from
Bar Harbor, where it is the native turnout,
and people are not yet SO familiar with II as
TO cease to laugh when it goes sagging and
jouncing by. The volante, vehicle gener-
ally supposed to be indigenous to Cuba, and
to be seen nowhere else is represented on the
drive every fair afternoon. 1t belongs TO n
Cuban cigar manufacturer i'm William street.
The drosky turned up. IL held very
splendid young swell whom no one recog-
nized, and made a decided stir. The appear
ance of the drosSy was preceded by that Of
the Russian sleigh, which made its appear
ance on our streets last winter, much TO tho
glory of the irreverent small boy English
coaches are now very common on our drives.
The most conspicuous is probably the real
London hanson, imported by Freddy Cob
hard's sister, Mrs. Fred Nelson. You are
not a real swell il you do not own at least
one English built turnout.
French carriages are also common. They
are lighter than the English, though not as
light as ours, but are more elegantly glazed,
upholstered and finished than either. Tho
English coaches are absurdly heavy. They
seem built, like the "Wonderful One Horse
Chase," to last forever. When London
built family coach goes by, with the harness
chains changing, you have only TO shut your
eyes to believe that you hear steam fro
engine answering a third call Since fashion
began to return to town have every day no
ticed several carriages whose inmates wero
only woman servant and pet dog. Tho
dogs seem to enjoy their airing, but the ser
wants always look awfully bored. >ts~-~S

A HARD MAN TO KILL,
Likely to Fall Apparently Dead at Amy
Moment-A Queer Case.

Moment-A Queer Case.
There is a man in Wall street who is a cause
of anxiety to his friends, but not for the rea-
son that he is an ordinary dealer in stocks and
q scalper of straddes. His name is c. K
Eastan, and he is interesting because he Is
likely to fall dead at any moment. He has
died three times so far, and he doesn't look as
though he had yet done his best in that direc-
tion. He is fully aware of his pleasant little
popularity and is unable to explain it to any
body.
The first time he died was when he was 50
years old, and that was about sixteen years
ago. He was living III Norwich, Conn. He
had suffered with chronic Indigestion and was
weak and feeble. One evening he was out
walking after an unusually hearty supper
consisting of a cracker and cup of tea, when
he suddenly fell on the sidewalk The people
who came to Ills assistance found him to all
appearances dead. The doctors declared that
he had died of heart disease, and preparations
for the funeral were begun the next day
His friends came and looked al his corpse and
remarked what sad case it was, and the
local papers published full obituaries On the
second night he astonished the watchers by
sitting up in his coffin and asking for drink
When he saw how close he had come to
premature burial he came near dying in
earnest
He lived on regularly enough for four
years after that. He was down in New Mex
leo looking after a mine in the summer of
1875, and il was then that he next suspended
animation The New Mexicans never had an
idea that he was alive, and as the weather is
very warm there he would infallibly have
been buried if he hadn't been somewhat ex-
peditious about coming to life Nobody knew
him down there and he was laid out in an un-
dertaker's shop in Santa Fe that served as a
morgue. When he came to and wanted to
know what he was doing there, he scared the
undertaker's assistant into fits
His third exploit occurred in Philadelphia
one hot day two years ago last summer. He
was supposed then to have been sunstrucI1
He carries in his pocket now a carefully
written notice containing his address and re-
questing that he be taken there in case Of ac-
cident. All his relatives and friends have
been notified not to let him be buried with
out having a good chance to come to life
again if he can. But with all his precau-
tions he is haunted by foreboding that
somebody will bury him alive yet. The doc
tors don't know exactly what is the matter
with him, bnt he has made arrangements
with one of them to find out, if possible,
when he really does die.-Mail and Express.

A New York gentleman just arrived from
Paris speaks of having met Theodore Tilton
in restaurant there few evenings ago. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Bullard, whose
father left her the fortune which he had made
from the patent medicine known as Mrs
Winslow's soothing syrup. Mr.. Tilton and
Mrs Bullard are often seen riding out to-
gether and are distinguished looking couple
Tiltons daughter Florence, who married Pei
ton, is living with her child in Switzerland.
Mr.. Pelton, who became afflicted soon after
his marriage with intermittent attacks of in
sanity, has at last become hopeless lunatic,
and is now in confinement. Tilton's other
daughter is living with her husband in Chi
cago, and Mrs. Tilton is in n Protestant con-
vent in Newark.-New York World,
